To Receive Award

EAST WINDSOR — School board member Louise Lyke is scheduled to be honored Thursday by the East Windsor Rotary Club with its newly created Circle award.

The Circle award -- Community Involvement Recognition for Citizens Leading in Excellence -- was created to recognize individuals who have greatly contributed to town growth and leadership.

Lyke is a longtime resident of East Windsor and has been a member of the Republican town committee.

She joined the East Windsor Board of Education to fill a two-year vacancy and has remained for 12 years of service, having been elected for a six-year and four-year term. She has served on the board's finance, community conversations and pension board subcommittees and has participated in the Sylvester McKinley Scholarship Fund and the Substance Abuse Advisory Council.

The club will present Lyke with the award at a dinner Thursday at 6 p.m. at LaNotte Restaurant. Tickets are available at the door for $25 per person.
